"what is up, my mammals?"

Why would she ask "How many dudes have you fucked?" to attack his position??

It seems like a completely different topic altogether. I call fake.

Oh and the gay part is trivial and left as an exercise to the reader.

Shouldn't it have been "How many guys have you fucked?" He didn't say "you dudes."

This is fake and gay. Literally

Yeah, the fact that OP mentioned being at a party was sus. Nobody who posts on 4 Chan is ever invited to parties.

"You fuckers" is the correct nomenclature

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago (5 children)

"Fuckos" for informal situations

Obviously fake, but the response is a total non-sequitur to set up for the grindr but.

At some point you need to take responsibility for your insecurities and work on moving past them rather then expecting society to placate you. Languages evolve, so if your end goal is gender equality (or even if its not), the best thing you can do is accept that words are context sensative and "dude" and "guys" can be neutral terms.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago

Alternatively, if a woman asks you not to call her a guy or a dude, respect that.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

I'm so fucking sick of the neg culture that pretends to be politically correct. There's malicious sexism and loads of assholes out there for sure but some feel emboldened to attack anyone they construe to be saying what they think is wrong regardless of context.

Someone will always be offended by absolutely fucking everything. They can go fuck themselves.

Dude is also genderless.

I'm a dude. He's a dude. She's a dude. We're all dudes!

I worked at a university and I heard women call each other "bro" all the time.

Dude for me is genderless, but it's not a label everyone can fit into, you gotta be chill.

Cunt is singular, he should have used "cunts".

People really dont understand how languages work. Even brother and man can be gender neutral. If you say "man, whyd you do that" thats gender neutral. Same with dude and guy.

Idk about the rest of it but dude and guys can totally be gender neutral and i hate people that dont get that. Its such a bitchy thing to get mad about

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago

Also queen, "James, you're such an Excel queen". I've seen this sort of use many times at my workplace. It doesn't have anything to do with gender or sexual orientation.

It's obviously more niche than "dude" but I've seen it before.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 days ago

This. I've got a fair few trans friends, and we're all in agreement - unless it's obvious we're talking in gendered terms based on context, "dude", "man", "bro", etc are just interjections, not reference to someone's gender. And, when we are talking in gendered contexts, we tend to be pretty clear about that.

It's not a problem until someone tells you to not refer to them as a dude or a guy. If you continue, you are just an asshole 🤷🏻

[–] [email protected] 52 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Sure, but we're talking plurals of strangers atm. "Please don't call me a guy going forward" is a different conversation than "what you just said is stupid, mean, and wrong".

I definitely use "guy" as gender neutral. I used to refer to women as "dude" as well, but it was a bit controversial so I stopped

[–] [email protected] 50 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I'm a dude. He's a dude. She's a dude. We're all dudes!

This is a good joke but it really lets itself down by switching from "guys" to "dudes" when it's about the former word...

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I view "guys" and "dudes" as gender neutral but when its directed towards me i start feeling like shit
